He Died for Us

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.—Romans 5:8

As we stand at the cross of Christ we see a glorious exhibition of God’s love. Paul wrote to the Christians in Rome, “While we were powerless to help ourselves . . . Christ died for sinful men.” In human experience, it is a rare thing for one man to give his life for another, even if the latter be a good man, though there have been a few who have had the courage to do it. Yet the proof of God’s amazing love is this: that it was “while we were sinners Christ died for us.”

A beautiful young society leader came to visit my wife and me. She had been converted to Christ in one of our Crusades, and she was absolutely radiant in her transformation. Already she had learned scores of Scripture verses by heart and was so full of Christ that we sat for two hours listening to her give her moving testimony. Over and over she said, “I cannot understand how God could forgive me. I have been such a wicked sinner. I just cannot understand the love of God.”

Now none but Christ can satisfy, None other name for me; There’s Love n Life n Lasting Joy, Lord Jesus, found in Thee… CHRIST showed His Love by dying for us; we show ours by Living for Him! God Richly Bless U n Ur Ministries! Amen.

Rest is peace! Sorry to hear that. I have been hearing of so many frenids dying in their 50s and 60s. A kid I grew up with just died after suffering a massive heart attack on the way to work. Adds a new perspective to upping the retirement age because we are living so long.
